I'm not sure if this is still needed and why you decided to use this syntax. I hope that you can shed some light on this and maybe unify those macros, too.
I only did this as there wasn't anything else to do it. That is, I wasn't aware that there was some "standard" syntax. I don't remember much about it - it was maybe 8 years ago. But I do remember that reconciling the gcc/msvc/borland syntax was a pain and I'm sure that's what drove the syntax I settled on. Robert Ramey
